Hi all.
I'm starting to see my computer struggle against some of the tasks i'm throwing at it. My tasks range from Unreal Engine, Visual Studio C++ compilation, Premiere Pro, 3D modelling, gaming (VR), streaming and music creation. I've also noticed my computer crashing more often with no bsods appearing (my gpu max is 85 degrees c and my CPU max is 70)
I was looking for a hefty upgrade to my:
- now seemingly old CPU
- my motherboard
- and my RAM.
- I suppose it also means I will need a new heatsink and some thermal paste
I wondered what you all thought about my options?
I would be happy to spend £~1500 on all of the components. I am interested in getting 32GB of ram, but can cope with 16GB if it means I get a better CPU or better RAM because of it.
Here are my current rig details:
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Midi Tower Case - Titanium
Memory brand: Corsair Vengance LP 16GB (4x4GB) CML16GX3M4A1600C9 DDR3
